TROUBLESHOOTING
Note: These chargers incorporate self-contained a.c. to d.c. conversion modules which
utilize numerous automatic protection circuits. The a.c. input fuse which protects inter-
nal wiring is housed inside the charger with the module. Under most circumstances the
fuse will fail only if the charger has an internal fault. Hence, they are not intended to be
user-replaceable and any condition which has caused a blown a.c. fuse will likely re-
quire repair of other internal circuitry by a qualified technician. If an apparent charger
fault cannot be corrected using any of the recommendations in this section, the charger
should be returned to the factory or place of purchase for inspection and repair or re-
placement.
PROBLEM
A. Batteries not coming up to
full charge
B. Charger continues to
charge at 3 amps or more—
does not taper back
C. No charger output, even
when all connections have
been checked, a.c. is applied
to the charger, and d.c. load
is applied to the batteries
D. Reverse polarity connec-

POSSIBLE CAUSE
1. Extremely discharged
batteries requiring long re-
charge time
2. Charger limiting its output
due to overload or over-
temperature conditions
1. d.c. load connected to
batteries drawing current (not
a problem condition)
2. Bad cell in one of the
batteries to which the charger
is connected
Blown input fuse or other
internal defect

SOLUTION
1. Turn off all d.c. loads and
allow charger 24-48 hours to
recharge batteries
2. Reduce d.c. load and/or
determine cause of over-
temperature condition (see
section III-B, Location)
1. Turn off main battery
switch to d.c. electrical panel
or turn of all d.c. loads if you
wish to confirm charger will
output minimal amperage to
fully charged batteries
2. Check for shorted cell in
wet lead-acid batteries using
a hydrometer. Refer to manu-
facturer for testing mainte-
nance-free batteries
